My insecurities about living with T1D:
As many of you know I've been a type one since I was nine years old. Now for someone so young it had a huge impact on me, I always use to cry and ask "why me?" and say "I hate this, I don't want it anymore!". Growing up with type one wasn't easy either I always had to learn new things and always had to carry a bag with me, which can get pretty annoying. I was diagnosed 27 January 2011, I was in third grade at that time and it was hard on everyone especially my parents. My dad has gotten a lot of grey hairs stressing over me over these nine years and I can tell.
I am very nervous when it comes to endo appointments and I also don't have the best control on my blood sugar levels, but lately I've been doing better. I've started being more positive but I still get a few bumps in the rode and then cry or get frustrated. I have started setting my alarm to go off an 3am each day to check my blood sugar and the if it's high I inject a little to get it down for when I wake up and test when I eat breakfast.
Lately I've been struggling to fall asleep and getting headaches before bed even though my blood sugar is below ten. I also struggle with high blood sugar in the mornings but lately its been better, not as much of highs have happened than in the past.
